Run down this list of reasons why you may need a property management company and see how many of them are true.
1. You don’t live in Jacksonville
Maybe you inherited a house in Jacksonville. Maybe you bought a house in Jacksonville, lived here, and had to move away for a job. Maybe you own a home here and decided to go on the road for a year.
Whatever the reason, you’ve got an empty house in Jacksonville, you want to rent it, and you’re not around to manage it yourself. You either need a very good friend to manage it for you or (if you want to preserve the friendship) you need to hire a Jacksonville property management company.
2. You don’t have the interest in dealing with a rental
To be clear, it’s not owning the rental that you’re disinterested in. It’s managing the rental that doesn’t appeal to you. Monthly income? Yes, please. Tenant-related busy work? No, thanks.
People who want the short- and long-term benefits of owning Jacksonville investment properties but don’t want to manage said properties need to hire someone else to do it for them. Enter property management company, stage left, like Locklear Partners & Management Company. We’ll do the job for you.
3. You’re too nice
Yes, this is a valid reason for hiring a property management company for your Jacksonville rental. We hear this reason all the time:
“I have a rental property in Jacksonville, and I’ve tried to manage it on my own, but I’m just too nice. I’m a sucker for an applicant with a sob story. They turn out to be a deadbeat and I can’t get the rent. Then I can’t get them out of the house. Then I do the same thing all over again with the next tenant. I’m losing money on this place and really hating the whole tenant-management scenario!”
Hire a Jacksonville property management company like Locklear Partners & Management Company.
4. You’ve got multiple rentals, a full-time job, and a family
You’ve got too much on your plate, and that’s the bottom line. Your day job takes all your time and emotional energy. By the night and weekend, you’re fried. You want to own rental properties, but the last thing you want to do is spend Saturday installing a new dishwasher while the kids wait at home for you to play ball.
Hire a property management company. They’ll take care of the emergency calls, the non-paying tenant, the vacant house in need of a new tenant, etc. They’ll get their fee, you’ll get your time, and you’ll still have your property.
5. You hate chasing down rent
Rent is due on day X of the month. But the check doesn’t arrive. The Zelle payment doesn’t transfer. The CashApp deposit doesn’t appear. Let the chase begin.
This is what you hate. You just want the rent money in your bank account, and you don’t want to rout it out from the back of Beyond.
A property management company deals with the rent collection. You just enjoy seeing it land in your bank account.
If any of these reasons had you nodding as you read them, you could benefit from hiring a Jacksonville property management company. Try Locklear Partners & Management Company. We’re tried and true. We’ll take care of everything.
